Value Collection 93305 Carriage Bolt 1/4-20 2-1/2 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93305 is a 1/4-20 UNC carriage bolt with a 2-1/2 inch length under head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The square neck design locks the bolt in place during installation, preventing rotation as the nut is driven. This fastener is suited for structural and general-purpose connections where corrosion resistance is required. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors routinely use carriage bolts of this type to secure equipment, brackets, strut channel, and framing components.

This carriage bolt is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor applications where moisture or chemical exposure makes stainless steel preferable over zinc-plated or plain steel alternatives. Common install scenarios include equipment mounting, panel supports, wood-to-metal connections, and utility structure assembly. The 1/4-20 thread size is one of the most widely used inch-series fastener dimensions across light commercial and residential trade work.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard nuts and hardware
• 2-1/2 inch length under head suits moderate-depth clamping applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Square neck prevents bolt rotation during tightening without a wrench on the head
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to crack, chip, or introduce galvanic incompatibility with stainless hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC inch-series carriage bolt suitable for use with any 1/4-20 compatible nut and washer in wood, metal, or composite assemblies.

Installation Notes

Insert the bolt through a pre-drilled or punched hole sized for the shank diameter, allowing the square neck to seat firmly into the material to prevent spinning. Drive the mating nut with a standard wrench or socket; do not apply torque to the domed head. Power down or de-energize any equipment before securing fasteners near electrical components. Follow applicable mechanical codes for fastener grade and spacing requirements in structural connections.
